Devil In The Bottle Lynyrd Skynyrd

[Verse 1]
There's a devil in the bottle, staring straight at me
Daring me to reach out, but I know he's testing me
If I take just one sip, I become that devil's son
Act a fool, sell my soul before God and everyone
Oh Lord, I know, I only hurt the ones I love

[Verse 2]
I'm walking down this dead end road, all alone and by myself
Wish I could blame the whiskey, but I can only blame myself
I'm running out of chances, and Lord, that's such a crime
I got to find the answer before I lose my mind
Oh Lord, it's a crying shame
Oh Lord, I've caused so much pain
I only hurt the ones I love

[Chorus]
There's a devil in a bottle that just won't let me be
So many times I've been hurting my soul and family
But I got free on the day I fought the devil in the bottle

[Verse 3]
The next time that ol' devil tries to get the best of me
I'll smash that bottle against the wall and know I'm finally free

[Chorus]
There's a devil in a bottle that just won't let me be
So many times I've let him hurt me
I got free on the day I fought the devil in the bottle, oh
Devil in the bottle
Devil in the bottle
